Jul 18    Business Insight Series


Online Registration is now CLOSED. Walk up registration will open Friday morning at 7:30 a.m. at Cowboys Golf Club.

Formerly the Leadership Breakfast Series, the Chamber's breakfast series of seminars returns in 2014 with the Business Insight Series.


Topic/Speaker: Women Mean Business/Jody Hoberman

Women Mean Business - It actually has a double meaning. The more women you sell to, the more business there is and the more women on the team, the stronger it is because WOMEN MEAN BUSINESS!

The world is changing and so is our economy. One that was once based on transactions has morphed into one based on relationships. Whether you are a man in business or selling to women, or a woman selling to or being sold to, we are all working with a market that influences over 85% of all consumer purchasing decisions…WOMEN! No matter how much we fight change, today’s business model needs to do just that…change!

During this session, you will learn how understanding the ways men and women communicate can change the entire conversation. Judy will give you tips, tricks and strategies that will make a huge impact on your bottom line.

What You Will Learn:

  • Why concentrating on women can be a source of unending referrals
  • The basic communication differences between men and women
  • The importance of recognizing these differences and how to embrace and use those differences as assets
  • The value of asking the right questions
  • The importance of building relationships in cross gender selling
About the Speaker:

Judy Hoberman, President of Selling In A Skirt, has created a suite of workshops, seminars and coaching programs that take the negativity out of selling. Her 30 years in sales has given her both the knowledge and sense of humor about the gender differences, something that everyone should understand and embrace, instead of feeling unable to communicate. Judy’s humorous stories about how men and women sell, manage, recruit and supervise differently will enlighten you in learning how both genders can support each other's successes in a more productive way.

Judy’s experience includes being an award-winning, Accomplished Corporate Training Director with extensive experience in training, course development and project management. She is a true entrepreneur at heart with experience both in the self-employed and corporate arenas. She was personally selected by the President and CEO of a large Insurance Company, to move to Dallas, bringing her talent in training to the corporate office. She shares her expertise with over 3000 agents in 100 offices throughout 44 states, showing them how to break the mystery of the sales process into manageable pieces and demystify it. She was awarded the Character and Integrity Award from the field for her distinct and significant contribution to the field agent’s success. Today, she is back in the self-employed sector, taking one more missing piece of the sales process, and offering her 30 years of experience to provide solutions for today's market.

Judy is the author of “Selling In A Skirt” and “Famous Isn’t Enough,” business books for Professional Women, Sales Executives and Entrepreneurs. She is the host of a weekly radio show on Tough Talk Radio called Selling In A Skirt, and is also featured as “The Gender Expert” on Fox News Radio. She has appeared on CNN Headlines, ABC, CBS, CW33 and Good Morning Texas, and has contributed articles to Small Business Trends, the Dallas Morning News, Dallas Business Journal, Texas CEO Magazine, as well as appearing on the cover of Exceptional People Magazine. She recently launched both the Power of Women Profitability Telesummit and the Women of Power Profitability Live Event, featuring experts in the business and the entrepreneurial world. Plans are already underway for the next Live Event.
